    I love this site and I actually downloaded it on my computer because I have a friend that I want to share this with for her son. I know it will keep his attention because it is so colorful and easy to use, he is pretty high functioning in his developmental disorder but will love this. Great post and I loved reading about why these grandparents created the site. I also love there is a social part of this site in case my friend and her husband want to check that out I will be sharing it with them.

    What a great site. I have an autistic student in my choir and I plan to show this site to his mom. Plus the para that works with him has an autistic child so I will share it with her also.

    Thank you for sharing this! My main focus in my Master's program is Autism, so this was a great resource for me. I plan on sharing this with my colleagues, the autism specialists at my school. I also want to share it with my best friend who has 4 year old twins who are showing signs of ASD!

    This is an amazing find that I can share with my families. Due to the conditions of autism (especially Aspergers) many of my families at our school enroll because they feel that there child is getting lost in the sea of 32 children in a classroom. With our virtual setting their children on the same playing field due to the fact that they are behind the screen and only a voice. It is amazing to see how the students once placed into our program flourish without the questioning stares and bullying. This is just one more tool to help them proceed further and reach their full potential.

    This is great! I currently have a student with autism. I want to become more familiar with it and try it with him. He loves getting on the computer, so I'm anxious to see how this may help him.
